Default Ok, dad needs help from you guys...

He's trying to figure out what to do for his truck...

He just bought a 2009 Starcraft truck camper, and he wants to do air bags all around...

But at the same time... he's not sure he wants to dive into all that...

He's thinking the Daystar or Rough Country leveling kit up front, and Helwig helper springs or Maxloader helper springs in the back...

I know everyone will say AIR BAGS!!!

...but what if he doesn't... what would be his best other option?

So, Hammer, you think he should do the level up front, and the bags in rear?

well I know he should do the bags in the rear, he doesn't need to do a level in the front for the camper, but if he just wants to level it out, no harm in it...

Well he wants to lift the front so he can get a little more ground clearance for his plow...

the level kit would give u a max of 2in clearence up front.. but yeah seriously.. bags are the way to go for a camper. helper springs just dont work as nice. they dont ride as nice either.
